“A warm and compassionate psychoanalytic psychotherapist offering individual therapy to adults and adolescents.”

About Me

As a warm and compassionate psychoanalytic psychotherapist, I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents. I help patients explore deep-seated patterns and make sense of how past experiences shape their present. In our sessions, we gently uncover recurring themes, fostering a deeper self-understanding of your authentic self. This approach suits those seeking lasting change and insight into their emotional world. It provides a safe space to process complex feelings and find new ways forward.

Approach

I invite a reflective, slow-paced approach that pays attention to feelings as they emerge in the room and between sessions. In my Cape Town consulting space we work in English, using careful listening and gentle interpretation to link present struggles—anxiety, difficult moods, trauma responses or caregiving stresses — to earlier patterns. Sessions often shift between noticing what’s happening now and naming hidden meanings, sometimes clarifying with structured assessment where that helps. People seeking deeper insight and steadier emotional footing tend to find this way of working useful.
